Welcome to West Branch Farm, a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to own an extraordinary piece of history and one of the largest properties available in New York State.

At the heart of West Branch Farm stands a stunning 19th century Greek Revival farmhouse, a historic landmark renowned as the valley’s oldest gem. Impeccably maintained, the home features original stained glass, wide-plank heart pine flooring, a hand-carved staircase, and intricate plaster molding on the ceilings, all showcasing timeless elegance and craftsmanship. A second residence, the charming four-bedroom guesthouse with recently renovated kitchen, offers additional opportunities (additional 2,200 sq ft not included in the MLS).
West Branch Farm features multiple barns, garages and outbuildings to accommodate hundreds of cattle, ensuring efficiency and productivity. If desired, the property offers the flexible option to continue leasing to the current farmers, providing immediate income and expert management for a seamless continuity of operations. In addition, the property has NYS forestry tax credits in place for added ease and incentive.
